<div>hi,Drew</div>Thank you for your reply.<div>>First off. Which VMWare program are you using? </div><div>My VMWare in use is station, the following information comes from my VMWare:</div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><div>Product:VMware® Workstation</div><div>Version:7.1.2 build-301548</div><div>Host OS version:Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600, Service Pack 3</div></div><div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div></div></div><div>>what's the output of "lsusb"?</div><div>Here is the output :</div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><div>[root@wulmcent ~]# lsusb</div>
<div>Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000</div><div>Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:1006 Atheros Communications, Inc.</div><div>Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000</div><div>[root@wulmcent ~]#</div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div>So i think my CentOS(2.6.18-128.el5) in VMWare has recognized my usb device, but the system can't drive it.</div><div>The light in my wireless card is still off.</div><div>On the other way, i have tried the ndiswrapper(1.56) using the drivers on winXP.</div>
<div>My wireless card can work well on winXP.So i think the driver will work in centOS too.</div><div>In fact, it cound't work although i've tried every driver i have that work well on winXP.</div><div>Here is my try:</div>
<div>-------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><div>[root@wulmcent MW54U]# ls</div><div>150U C69 U300T U70 UD10</div><div>[root@wulmcent MW54U]# cd U70</div><div>[root@wulmcent U70]# ls</div>
<div>athur.sys athuw.sys netathuw.inf</div><div>[root@wulmcent U70]# ndiswrapper -i netathuw.inf</div><div>driver netathuw is already installed</div><div>[root@wulmcent U70]# ndiswrapper -l</div><div>netathuw : invalid driver!</div>
<div>[root@wulmcent U70]#</div></div><div><div>-------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div></div></div>U70 is a driver directory, the driver in it can work well in winXP but can not be installed in centOS.</div>
<div>And i also tried different drivers in directory 150U, C69, U300T and UD10. They displayed</div><div>the same error.</div><div>Can you give me some advice? </div><div>Thank you very much!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>First off. Which VMWare program are you using? There are some pretty<br>
big differences between the Player/Workstation/Server family and the<br>
ESX(i)/vSphere family of products.<br>
<br>
ESX you can pretty much write that idea off unless you have a newer<br>
system that supports Intel's VT-d (or AMD's equivalent). Player is a<br>
bit different if it's a usb device as you can attach to the guest a<br>
required.<br>
<br>
Assuming Player, are you *absolutely sure* that you connected the USB<br>
device to the guest per VMware's procedures? If yes, what's the output<br>
of "lsusb"? We need to know *if* it's being seen by the guest at all<br>
to begin with.<br>
